    Why 'Covenant'

    The name of the ships is never random in Ridley Scott's movies. In 'Alien: The Eighth Passenger' the Nostromo ship paid tribute to the writer Joseph Conrad, whose director had adapted 'The Duelists'. 'Prometheus' referred to the Greek myth and its revision in 'Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus' by Mary Shelley. And 'Alien: Covenant'? Covenant could refer to the Ark of the Covenant, the sacred chest with the Tables of Law that also starred in the Indiana Jones debut.
